My Roommate and I were living "the Dream" in 97 with our own Apartment and the living room was a mess of consoles and games right when you walked in the door :P
There was so many games we wanted to buy at that time, we actually picked up more hours at work and spent less time in arcades only to arrive home from work and be gaming all night long with hardly any sleep.
As far as the N64 is concerned, aside from all the legendary games people automatically name when referencing the system, I still remember how much fun we had playing the original Turok. MK4 also seemed to be very well done from what I Still remember.
